ice art

Posted by jamesy (christchurch, New Zealand) on 17 September 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual.

aint nature grand she made this beautiful piece of abstract art on the roof of a car after a severe frost. I leant out the window to get it as I felt it was too cold to go outside

I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes

Sorry, but it should be - "that this is from some mountains" . . .
I hope my unintentional mistakes are only funny never harmful !

@LeenaM: Thanks Leena I think your English is fine if we had to converse in Finnish we would have big problems... I have had a look at your Feb blog fantastic ice photo especially the stars on the windows. It doesn't get anywhere near as cold in NZ as I saw on the weather map in Finland a very hard frost here is only -5C
